I’ve been up and down most season. On whole we have done really well. I think Moyes trusts players now and feel we are a lot more positive - earlier in season very dull to watch - not popular but I really thought Grealish slowed it down far too much - great retainer of ball but much more positive since Ndiaye went out on right (for me anyway) .
Looking to next season - some decisions to be made - think Garner has to be in midfield and no longer used as a right back - need a right back to also allow OBrien to be in the middle with Branthwaite / Tarks.
Midfield interesting - Alcaraz, Dibling, George, Merlin, Grealish, Gauye and McNeil - all need decisions to keep / loan / sell / give back and European football will decide some of this.
I’d like to see a bit more of George as looked exciting in brief cameo appearances.
Up front is a disaster.
For me players to move on should be:
Patterson
Keane - it’s time to let OBrien at CB.
Merlin give back.
McNeil - difficult but if that 20 million still on table I’d take it despite how good he’s been.
Barry - try and get 10 million for him.
Grealish - I’m 50/50 - big injury - his experience to likes of George / Dibling / Alcaraz could be vital - definitely wouldn’t pay 50 million for him though.
Coleman - sure he will retire.
Gueye - one more season - may need to manage his minutes but he’s still good enough.
Dibling needs a good pre season and try to nail down Rt wing position - regular games needed as I have no idea if he’s any good or not.
In
Right back - at least x1 (Ben White / Spence if Spurs go down)
Left Back - keep Myko though
Striker (Troy Parrot, Toney) - for me I’d go all out for.
Igor Thiago - would cost a lot but I think he’s guaranteed goals (think he’d be too expensive if honest though unless he has a release clause)

I like Thiago Sobs, but agree it'd cost an arm and leg for him.
Unless we sign a young, up and coming CB, I'd keep Keane for one more season.
Send Dibling on loan to build his confidence up. We'll need a new pacey RW (or a LW so Ndiaye plays on RW) - don't know who that could be and if George fits the bill.

Sarr at Palace on the RW would be worth a look with Glasner, Eze and Guehi leaving, mate.
